[BioC] Windows error messages

[Robert Gentleman]

Dear Giulio,
   Thanks for information about your computer. What about some  
information about the version of R you are running - and perhaps even  
some explicit information about the the packages and some examples of  
what you did and what happened? sessionInfo will help, it would also  
help if you tried to track down the problem a bit - does it always  
happen? Only when certain packages are being used? Any of these might  
help to figure out what the real problem is - and my own personal guess  
is that you have a virus - but that is merely a guess - but certainly  
one other thing to look at.

   Also, since this is almost surely an R problem, I suggest that you  
move  your question to the r-help mailing list, as it is more  
appropriate (at least from this report I see nothing that is specific  
to Bioconductor packages) and more widely read. They too will want some  
details (like those from sessionInfo).

   Best wishes,
      Robert
